Very honest portrayal of mental issues (1 more)
The characters were written in a believable way
This was my first experience reading a John Green book and I was not disappointed. It had some many good written moments, the story flowed wonderfully, and it didn't end in the stereotypical way I had expected it would.

Green's portrayal of mental issues was spot on and he did nothing to romanticize them. He expressed them in a real, raw way that I appreciated.

Escape from china town
Big Trouble in Little China is a 1986 martial arts comedy movie.
the story follows Jack Burton, a man who agrees to help his friend Wang Chi rescue his green-eyed fiancée from bandits in San Francisco's Chinatown. Their mission leads them to a mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown, where they face an ancient sorcerer named Lo Pan, who requires a woman with green eyes to marry him in order to release him from a centuries-old curse.

Directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dun and James Hong

Great storyline, cheesy old school graphics and action, brilliant characters and cast.
Absolute classic.




release date: July 2, 1986
Running time: 99 minutes

Fun fact:

The project fulfilled Carpenter's long-standing desire to make a martial arts movie.

I was afraid to read this book because I had heard about how it can leave you ugly crying. After reading it (and crying my eyes out) I was so glad that I decided to, it brings you so many emotions whether you're crying or laughing or even angry, the story stays true to real life and how real people affected by disease live the life they're given. John Green is an amazing writer and this might be his best work.

I’m a big fan of John Green so his latest release was highly anticipated. As someone with an anxiety disorder I found his portrayal of mental illness almost upsettingly exceptional. Some of the scenes were so relatable that I could see myself in Aza’s place. That being said, the overarching plot was somewhat lacking; I felt like the book wrapped up too quickly and the balance of the two plots, finding a lost rich man and living with mental illness, was lost.
